Birthdays can bring out the party animal in adults and kids. A particularly exciting celebration in the past inspired this dignified birthday cartoon.
When a birthday comes, we try to find new and unique ways to express our good wishes. Here are a few, dignified examples if you came here, searching for the right words for a birthday card. After all, birthdays are great ways to put someone in the spotlight who rarely gets recognition.
I remember the one-year-old birthdays of my kids. In both cases, it was the first time they got to enjoy birthday cake. Both of them were a little hesitant at first. After all, all these people were staring at them and Mom just placed this gooey treat in front of them. Was this a trap?
But after the initial hesitancy, they went for it and experienced that sugar rush for the first time. Yes, dignity went out the window!
When Birthdays Go Wrong
However, you may want to be careful when celebrating birthdays in the workplace. In a recent article, a man won a lawsuit because his company threw a birthday party for him against his wishes. He is prone to panic attacks and when his manager forgot the request, the birthday party brought on some serious anxiety.
And of course, things can get a little crazy when kids get caught up in the excitement. After all, there’s cake!
Birthdays can be events where restraint goes out the window. That’s when I get the second scoop of ice cream and I lose all count of calories. It’s not a good time to test your blood sugar, but it is a good time to celebrate with friends. And while you’re at it, enjoy this dignified birthday cartoon!
